Sep. 22nd, 2011 11:26 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Another one featuring Six - it feels like when I managed to rec two Four/Master fics in one calufrax session (and yet these are so good!)
Title: Office AU (not its real title)
Pairing: Six/Ainley!Master. Bonus companions include Mel! And Evelyn!
Length: 4 comment threads
Summary: It's Doctor/Master if they both worked in an office!

Why this must be read: Do I need to say high-larious? Oh my god, this fic is so brilliant. I admit I am a bit of a sucker for the silly AU-prompt, but the reason I am, my friends, is that it frequently yields such good results. This is an exceptionally funny example of the genre. It's such a banal setting for two such brilliant people, and yet they are still brilliant and still too weird for other people not to notice and talk about them - in this case apparently to their faces. My not so secret favourite part of this is that Mel and the Master are friends for some reason - I love Mel, because she's a wonderful, perky character, and for some reason teaming her up with rabbidly annoyed Ainley!Master is one of the most perfect things I never knew I wanted. More Six fic is something I did know I wanted - hopefully you did too because I have an excerpt and a link for you.
Excerpt:
"We're not still talking about the Doctor, are we?" Mel rolled her eyes. "So much time spent chatting about this guy you don't even like."
"'Don't like' is an understatement," corrected Estram. "I loathe him. I can't stand him."
"You're so melodramatic," said Mel. "He's all right. A bit eccentric."
"He's in marketing, you're allowed to call him insane. He makes us call him Doctor."
"He's proud of his higher education," said Mel.
